DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract): This is an application for continued support of an ongoing program of research on the mental representations and processes that underlie significant phenomena in social psychology, particularly social judgement and inference, person perception, and stereotyping. These topics relate to mental health in several ways. For example, stereotypes contribute to concrete social conditions (such as prejudice and discrimination) that affect many people's mental health, and negative stereotypes also affect people's reactions to the mentally ill. The proposal's major objective is to continue developing and testing a new class of connectionist theoretical models, which are based on the properties of multiple interconnected processing units rather than symbolic representations and rules, within social psychology. Predictions from such models, generated in precise form by computer simulations. Will be compared with results from existing studies and three empirical studies will be conducted under this proposal, on the topics of accessibility of mental representations, stereotype change, and connectionist models of attitudes, motives, and social influence and interaction. The broader goals of this research are (a) to contribute to the further development of connectionist models by relating them to core theories and findings of social psychology; (b) to work toward incorporating social psychology within the increasing integration of various areas of psychology (particularly cognitive, developmental, and behavioral neuroscience) that has been driven by the increased use of connectionist models in many areas; and (c) to use connectionist models to shed new light on key aspects of social judgement and behavior, especially person perception, stereotyping, and prejudice.

描述（申请人摘要）：这是一个申请继续 支持正在进行的心理表征研究计划， 社会心理学中重要现象背后的过程， 特别是社会判断和推理，人的感知， 刻板印象 这些主题以几种方式与心理健康有关。 为 例如，陈规定型观念有助于具体的社会条件（如 偏见和歧视），影响许多人的心理健康， 负面的刻板印象也影响人们对精神病患者的反应。 该提案的主要目标是继续开发和测试一种新的 一类联结主义理论模型，它基于 多个相互连接的处理单元，而不是符号 社会心理学中的表征和规则。 预测从这样的 模型，通过计算机模拟以精确的形式生成。 进行比较 从现有的研究结果和三个实证研究将是 根据这一建议进行，关于精神卫生的无障碍问题， 表征，刻板印象的改变，以及态度的联结主义模型， 动机、社会影响和互动。 更广泛的目标， 研究是（a）有助于进一步发展连接主义 将它们与社会心理学的核心理论和发现联系起来; (b)致力于将社会心理学融入日益增长的 整合心理学的各个领域（特别是认知， 发展和行为神经科学），这是由 在许多领域增加使用连接主义模型;以及（c）使用 联结主义模型揭示了社会判断的关键方面 和行为，特别是人的感知，刻板印象和偏见。
